Hospice Awareness Week 16 – 22 May 2011
Hospice Awareness Week is our most significant opportunity to increase public awareness about hospice care as well as raising vital funds. We need to raise $6,000 a day so that we can continue to provide our services to the community free of charge. This is why we need your support.
How you can help this Awareness Week:
1. Shake a bucket
Can you spare a couple of hours to shake a bucket for hospice? We are looking for volunteers to help with our street collection on Friday 20 May and Saturday 21 May. If you can lend a hand, please contact the Fundraising Team on 361 5966 or email verity.leesang@mercyhospice.org.nz
2. Host a Mercy Hospice Auckland Tea Party at work or home
Hosting a Tea Party for friends, family or colleagues is a great way of reminding us how good it feels to share everyday moments, and through a gold coin donation from guests, you can support the work of Mercy Hospice Auckland. To make it easy, we can provide you with a fundraising pack which includes a delicious Jo Seagar
cupcake recipe, invitations, tea bags supplied by Dilmah, a donation box and donation form. 
To download your fundraising pack click here, or please register by filling out the form at the bottom of this page.
3. ‘Add A Dollar’ at New World
New World Victoria Park are continuing their wonderful support by asking their customers to 'Add A Dollar’' to their grocery bill during Hospice Awareness Week. We hope to raise a significant amount from this, so please support us by shopping at New World.
